Unless production costs and materials savings make up the difference. Still wondering about CURRENT and ACTUAL experience reports on Optimas. Understandable they went through a teething period when production moved.

Just needing actual current experience data instead of dated and conjectured information.

The O'Reilly's up here reports zero warranty claims on yellowtop Optimas currently, and they are on sale through the end of the month. Other batteries do not fare as well.
